  • Step #9 NOTES: 1) The recipe did not suggest a particular wine, but did say to use a GOOD white wine.
  • Step #10 -- 2) The recipe also did not include serving or garnish suggestions, but my choice would be to use the egg whites to make some "Forgotten Cookies" & serve them w/a ramekin of the cream on a dessert plate.
